haemodialysis on the Camino route?

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino 2017
Hi. I am a haemodialysis patient which means I have to receive 3 or 4 hours dialysis every alternate day. The most I can stretch out a break in dialysis would be 48 hours without any.
I was wondering if anyone knows of someone who may have found a way to do the Camino while linking up with local dialysis centres to gey their treatment on the way? Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

Welcome to the Forum!

Do browse through the Forum topic regarding Medical Issues to read many inspiring posts by other pilgrims who have walked in spite of various health problems.

From another web here is one account of a pilgrim needing dialysis walking through Galicia.

Please do let us know other sources and accounts that you find in your current search for info.

Good luck and Buen camino!

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
